GameSpot GC 2008: House of the Dead Overkill Impressions

GameSpot writes: "The House of the Dead games have long been a staple of Sega's internal Japanese studio. However, the developer has finally given over the reigns of one its most famous franchises, and the UK's Headstong games has been tasked with taking it in a new direction. The team has decided to cross the shooter with 60s Grindhouse cinema, making a gritty but trashy homage to both the game and the movies.

The story centers around Agent G's first mission out of college. He's joined by a new character called Detective Washington, and the entire story will be playable in single player or co-op. While it's still an on-rails shooter, the big new change comes in the way that you can control the camera angle. By moving the target reticule to the edges of the screen, you can move the camera another 30 degrees. Sega says that this will come into play when finding hidden items, as well as killing certain zombies."
